I do, at times, put sex into my stories, I just felt, after the abuse suffered, it would be very difficult to do in a way that didn't feel... rushed. Though I am sure Orel is quite happy with an expeditited time frame, it's Finn who is the more damaged in that fashion (As we saw in the Asset and the liability) Do not worry, Orel features HEAVILY in : The Loyal and the Betrayed (the next chronological book) Uncle Andrew, and the fate of Pastor Jensen's father is the feature of : Carter's Echo, a stand alone book that will be out tomorrow. It's a soft introduction to the character that a lot of people love.

Alex has to earn his Ninja Giraffe first. It's on the list, just swept off with the muse at the moment, and writing something called After Zero Hour... sort of techno apocalypse like the Division, just with robots.

Yes, but it will be their own story. I didn't want to marry them off in someone elses tale. Besides we're all owed Best Man Brian at his Best Mannliness

True, but ... how else is Orel going to get to see the Isopods of the Cambrian period with his own eyes?

He can run, but you know he's not getting far. Penniless, friendless, ally-less, bereft of family and influence... Tarquin Merrick is run out of town. :: shrugs :: Tried to keep it close to Tarquin last King of Rome. Orel is happy, safe, and in control of his fortune. Oliver is Free, and able to go on to find his own destiny. The next Merrickville story is Carter's Echo, staring tomorrow. There will be a follow up to this book after that. The Loyal and the Betrayed. Which will deal with the fall out of Tarquin Merrick's legacy as Lydia et al try to save the town from bankruptcy in the wake of his fraud.

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Grady Declaration Protocol The silence in the grand ballroom was a vacuum created by Tarquin Merrick’s ego. To Orel Grady, standing at the back of the room with his husband’s hand in his, it was a high-pressure zone, dense with the cloying, almost physical scent of forced lilies and the low-frequency drone of four hundred people holding their collective breath. It was the silence before a seismic event, the air ionized by the coming strike. Orel conducted a f

Aye, Will had no ships to send et al. Thanks.

you are right, an oversight on my part, it's been since Dec. 2019.

Tomorrow: The Quiet Room Ned and Peter: Survivors healing Yani and Tommy: Our Geek squad take on the Conspiracy for War.

That wasn't a message to Will, that was a message to his team/the Premier, should have made that clear, my mistake

Guess it's down to Yani to stop Miller's plans.

Good morning, hope you are all dry and warm

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN: THE ASSET Location: Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Georgia. Time: July 30, 2024. 14:00 EDT. Status: Surveillance State High Alert. Yani Levchenko hated airports. They were, in his professional opinion, architectural manifestations of human anxiety. They were hives of bad data, inefficient queuing algorithms, and biological contaminants. He stood in the Customs line, clutching a British diplomatic passport that felt less like a shield and

The Butterflies are a metaphor for Orel and Finn, they are the only ones that winter as adults, they emerge tattered, but still strong.

Three things you can rely on: the professionalism of the US Navy in a crisis, the timely arrival of the US Army when someone is in trouble, and a boot up the ass of the badguys from the US Marines. I have a tremendous respect for the US armed forces, so I want it clear that what I write for a story is in no way a reflection on the services.

Will and Tommy will have that talk, I mean it's mere formality at this point, but we all know Will's Tommy's Dad and always has been, he's just waiting for permission. Hell Will was Tommy's dad even before that chat with Bob at the arena. It's not stated clearly, beyond his mom's troubles... but Tommy has never known his real dad. The only one he's ever known is Will. (We also know that Uncle Peter is proudly Mom but no one dares call him that)

It's Orel calling Will: Mister Carter isn't it? :: checks again ::
-
Usuaully it is Uncle Will, but there is a later beat in Campaign where this is addressed... and Will asks Tommy what he wants. I just had to here, in this one... keep it vague as to not spoil things. I mean he is Called Tommy Carter in this one, so you know.

Tommy to the rescue, I like Tom-boy he's a good egg, and quick on the up tick, helping Orel back from the edge of a meltdown that would have undermined everything. Tarquin is a cruel machine, setting Orel up for a public meltdown infront of the guests would have given him everything he needed for his conservatorship argument. Tommy stepping up, and protecting his friend by calling the one person he knows can handle it, says a lot of our Olympic champion in training. Besides he gets to tease his cousin :
